RISK board game

RISK is a well known strategy board game.The goal is to dominate the world by conquering territories from your friends. Below I have provided the basic items to start build your own game. Also a link to the standard rules is provided. But the good thing about making your own game is the flexibility to change it in whatever way you want.

The first level ‘Simpli-city’ is defined by the following simplicity.dat.

Soduko

Soduko is a popular crosswords game with number instead of words. The playfield consists of 9 times 9 squares. In each of these squares an integer between 1 and 9 shall be be inserted. The constraint is that each row, column and 3 times 3 square shall contain all number between 1 and 9. Initially the playfield have a number of numbers already set. The task is to fill in the remaining squares. Depending of the initial board the Soduko may be more or less difficult to solve. The example below is very hard to solve. Try it!

Soduko Solver in SmallTalk

If you didn’t succeed you may try the Soduko solver I have developed below. It is developed in Smalltalk using the Squeak environment. To run the solver you need to do the following: * Download and install Squeak environment: http://www.squeak.org/. * Download the source code for the solver: Soduko.st. * Start Squeak envorionment and load source code into it. * Start Squeak. * Open File List tool (from Tools bar) in Squeak. * Select the Soduko.st file already downloaded. * Choose filein command to load the source into the environment. * Run solver on the soduko shown above. * Open Transcript window to enable solver output. * Open Workspace window to run solver from. * Write “SodukoTest new runTest3” in Workspace and select do it (ALT-D) while is is selected. * The program output is sent to Transcript window. * Edit source code and solve another Soduko. * Open System Browser. * All souce code can be found under Soduko category. SodukoTest contains the entry message.

Hope you will enjoy Soduko, Smalltalk and Squeak!

Minimal Soduko Solver in Java

An alternative solution, developed together with my collegue Tobias (wrote the code). The focus in this solution was code size and not beuty. This solution is developed in Java and can be downloaded below.

Example

Paradroid Ringsignal

Paradroid is probably the best game ever made on Commodore 64 platform. I don’t really have anything negative to say about this game. Excellent idea, sound, graphics and playability. As tribute to Paradroid I have extracted part of the inital music (or sound) that can be used as ring signal for you mobile.
